**Unfortunately SILK, the pre-loaded browser available on the Kindle Readers/ Fire Tablets, is not compatible with the FORMED platform and is not one of our supported web browsers. For this reason it is not possible to download a eBook from FORMED directly to your Kindle Reader/Fire device.

We recommend that you use the below instructions to first download the eBook to your computer and then transfer the eBook to your Kindle device using the Send-to-Kindle Feature which can be accomplished through two different options:

Attaching the eBook file to an email and sending it to your Kindle device specific email

Alternatively, you can download the Send to Kindle App to your computer and use it to transfer the eBook file to your Kindle Devices.

2. Once the eBook is downloaded you will need to use the Send-to-Kindlefeature to transfer the eBook file directly to your Kindle Reader/Fire

3. Every Kindle App and Device has a specific email address associated with it. The address for your Kindle Device or Kindle App can be located by Logging in to Amazon.com, then using the below instructions:

On the Mange Your Content and Devices page select the "Your Devices"Tab

Locate your Kindle Device and select the button with the [...] button and you will see your email listed

4. Once you have located the email address attached to your Kindle Reader/Fire you can send an email with the eBook file attached directly to your Kindle device. Include the word "Convert" in the Subject line.

5. Your eBook should be available within an hour on your Kindle device. If you do not see it within that time frame you may need to approve your email address in the Settings tab on the Manage Your Content & Devices page on Amazon.com
